2018 HYUNDAI SANTA FE SPORT Sport Base

The vehicle is listed with a SALVAGE CERTIFICATE and REAR END as the auction’s primary-damage designation. Stage 1 reports that the visible rear liftgate damage supports the stated REAR END claim; however, the SALVAGE CERTIFICATE status cannot be confirmed from the photographs. The main visible damage is a moderate dent in the rear liftgate. The outer panel has a broad inward depression with creasing concentrated in the lower-left area and extending toward the center, along with scuffing. The left side of the rear bumper cover has minor surface scuffing and abrasion. Light horizontal scuffing and localized discoloration are also present on the right-front and right-rear door outer panels. The VIN decodes as a 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport SUV with four-wheel drive, a 2.4-liter gasoline four-cylinder engine, and a six-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle was manufactured in the United States. NHTSA records list four recalls applicable to certain vehicles of this make, model, and year. These involve possible front coil-spring fracture, ABS module electrical-short and fire risks, and side-curtain air-bag deployment concerns. The listed remedies include replacement of the affected coil springs, ABS multi-fuse or related components, and side-curtain air bags, as applicable. Recall completion for this specific vehicle should be verified with Hyundai or an authorized dealer before purchase.
